5.0/10

The hotel was in a convenient location, ideal for exploring the town center and nearby shops, but it was very loud at night affecting our sleep quality. The rooms needed an upgrade to modern standards and were uncomfortably bright due to poor sealing of windows and gaps in the door. While the dining experience left much to be desired with cold breakfast options and minimal staff presence, the service was a mix of friendliness and rudeness. Overall, the value for money was lacking, especially considering the uncomfortable stay.
